They make low harmonicas, but in order to play harmonica you breath needs to shake a metal reed. Higher pitched notes come from smaller reeds, and are thus more reactive to breath, and easier to play. Things like bending and over blows and playing very fast licks are just much easier on higher pitched harps. You can get a Harp in the G below Middle C, which is a very common harp and still very playable. There are a lot of harps lower than that, but bending on the ones below G become a real challenge. If you're up for it though, look for a Low C or something.
I am back playing harmonica with my band after my stroke
Play on!!
Stay safe ❤
Good pricing. Sometimes they can be a little rough on the lips but that's easily fixed with a fine metal file and a little polishing.
Always lovely to hear ya dear Brendan!
I have a full++ set of T008Ks, some white, some black, most are blue (to play the Blues, what else? :) )
Thanks again for sharing
Hi from mount alto Inistioge Ireland

Cool! Glasses for what?
Thank you! Just bought it today -- beautiful instrument! How long would it take for a professional musician to learn to play the way you do? ;)
🙂👍
why are harmonicas notes so high can,t they go below middle C .nice vid thanx
They make them in some Lower tuned keys. A low C is tuned an octave lower I believe. They even make a double low F. LLF
@@allenhawker3911 thank you will investigate.I play piano and sing in G from five semitones below middle C .thanx
In addition to the usual lower keys - G, A... some companies make a whole set of lower scale keys.

Make it in America and I'll buy it. Nice harp though.
Buy something inferior for more money. You deserve an American Harmonica.
Is your harmonica on this video in key of C ?
Yes
